I will keep my eyes open for t160i for you.

Have you seen these?

One thing... I'm old, fat, tired & out of shape...
How about we race for a couple six packs of Ballast Point??

I think it would be fun if a few different yaks and paddlers had a friendly little fast paddle. Probably would be about 6 miles out and back... so a bit over an hour depending on conditions. I'm in a kraken now, which is pretty darn fast but probably still not as fast as the tarpon or the prowler.

I was looking at the pro-fisha 525, and tried to order one from Brett at Stealth but he stopped responding to me. They sell them at a shop up in Lodi, but after I took a closer look at the kraken, it seemed like a better fit for our style fishing. It would be rad to have a surf-ski for when the tuna come in. But the baitwell situation isnt ideal...

Last year I paddled a Pro Fisha 575 - very fast and surprisingly stable for being so narrow.

FAST EDDY !!!

I sold my PA and bought Eddyline C-135 Yakattack edition and I've been in it three times and coming from the peddle PA 14 this yak feels to be the fastest yak on earth!!lol it cruises at 2.5 mph with barely any stroke of the paddle. Having never paddled before I don't really know how fast it should be. On glassy water I got it up to 6.0 mph but then again in the right shoulders(young and in shape) it will fly !!

Fastest?? Hobie Tandem Island w/2.3 HP Honda. Can cover 50 to 75 miles in a day. Sailing/peddling/motor or any combination, 1 gallon of gas will do it.
Of course your limited to your launch/landing locations, can't risk rolling over in the heavy surf with or without the motor.
